Calls For Slow Tourism Initiatives In East Clare

Clare FM

There are calls for targeted investment in slow tourism initiatives in East Clare. Last April, the adopted 'Killaloe Municipal District Strategy & Work Plan' identified the promotion of greenway and blueway attractions among fifteen key objectives for the region's future. Later this year, the local authority is hoping to open a landmark visitor centre at Inis Cealtra in tandem with the launch of public realm enhancements in Mountshannon in a €4.2m investment. East Clare Green Party local election candidate Audrey Flynn insists the local authority must match this funding with eco-tourism products.
